me boosta
The twins will be a He351cw over a gta5523, which works out to a 60mm over an 84mm. I'm using the tube header that I modified to t3 a 50mm jgs gate and the stock internal gate on the gt55 and the 351.
some mock up pictures.
manifold and he351 are mounted
[/QUOTE]
The initial mock up of the hot pipe went well and only needed minor tweaking to get almost dead on. There is still clearance for the oil drain line and I will build a bracket to support this off of the transmission cooler mount on the engine mount.
The biggest pain in the butt was making the t6 to 3inch adapter, started out as a 4 inch piece of pipe smashed to fit the edged of the inside of the flange then multiple cuts and reliefs to get my corners straight with the flange. Then some cuts and reliefs on the top to neck it down to 3 inch. Im using a flux core welder so the welds are not pretty but as long as they hold I wont have any complaints.

hot pipe is done minus heat wrap and paint
The downpope will be tight but it's going to fit.
Got everything done today minus the down pipe, oil lines, and external waste gate.
Built the support mount for the hot pipe which uses the two bolts for the trans cooler on the engine mount. This supports the gt55 and the he351cw from underneath and bolts to a tap on the hot pipe for easy dis-assembly.
Mocked up to cold pipe, Its a tight bend but it works and bolts up almost flush.
Welded it up and got the boot on it.
Mocked up the cold pipe with just enough flex for the engine to tourqe but allows straight boots.
Over all the kit is very easy to break down and can be down to just the header in about 15/20 min. Also made sure I had hood clearance LOL. Will have the compressor housings and cold pipes powder coated and get some header wrap for the hot pipe and down pipe. (may take it to polydyne and have him coat it the same as the header and turbine housing on the gt55)
